Review of Hadron Therapy Accelerators Worldwide and Future Trends
نویسنده
چکیده
Hadron beams have attractive growing interest for cancer treatment owing to their high dose localization around the Bragg peak. Heavier-ions such carbon-ion beams, in particular, can realize higher 3D dose localization, compared with a proton beam, owing to a highly biological effect around the Bragg peak and a low multiple scattering effect. Recently, therefore, hadron cancer radiotherapy has been successfully growing in the world, based on the development of the accelerator and beam-delivery technologies.

Secondary Particles Produced by Hadron Therapy
Introduction Use of hadron therapy as an advanced radiotherapy technique is increasing. In this method, secondary particles are produced through primary beam interactions with the beam-transport system and the patient’s body. In this study, Monte Carlo simulations were employed to determine the dose of produced secondary particles, particularly neutrons during treatment. Materials and Methods I...
